Description

In this special episode of Uncommon Sense, we’re joined by former PMI Deputy Chairman Jan Gillett as we commemorate 30 years since the passing of the father of quality management, Dr. W. Edwards Deming.

Jan vividly recalls the profound impact Dr. Deming had on him from their very first meeting at a conference in 1987.  He shares how this encounter was a turning point, challenging his conventional thinking and inspiring him to make a difference in his own company.

Join us as we dive into Deming’s lasting legacy in the business world and how his philosophies continue to inspire and guide us today.
